World premiere
Provocative and interdisciplinary choreographer Alexa Wilson premieres Toxic White Elephant Shock.
Artist statement
Toxic White Elephant Shock is a dance work that satirically layers theatricality with
dance, film and sound. This new work looks at how the world around us is suffering
under the strain of increasing political, social and environmental pressure. It is
experiencing toxic shock. The impact of this shockwave is mirrored in the disturbing
physical and mental state of the people. This work aims to map current political and
environmental toxicity or pollution into and onto the body.
